ATTACHMENT FOR VAPOR-STOVES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 417,130, datedDecember 10, 1889.

Application filed July 1 5, 18 89.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, JOHN GEORGE YOUNG,

J12, a citizen of the United States of America,-

residing at Bellevue, in the county of Jackson and State of Iowa, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Attachments forGasolineStoves; and I do hereby declare the stove, and thereby preventthe overflowing of the latter and the accidents likely to resulttherefrom, and thus enabling the generator-eup to be filled withoutthe-necessity of exercising the care ordinarily required.

In the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, Figurel isa view of a gasoline-stove having my attachment applied thereto, thesupply-tank being represented in section to more clearly show my.

improvements. Figs. 2 and 3 are detail sec tional views showing theposition of the parts during the operation of supplying the gasoline tothe generator-cup, and Fig. 4. is a plan View.

As is well known, in the use of gasolinestoves many accidents occur fromthe fact that more than the required amount of gasoline is supplied to'the generator-cup of the stove and causing the latter to overflow,saturating the adjacent parts, and resulting in a dangerous ignition ofsuch saturated parts.

By my improved attachment 1 obviate the foregoing objections and insurethe supply of the exact amount of fluid to the generatorcup at all timesand under all conditions.

The gasoline-stove .A, to which I have shown my attachment as beingapplied, has, as ordinarily, the supply-pipe B, having the verticalportion 0, sustaining the supply-tank D, as usual. The generator-cup ais located in proximity to the burner, and is fed from the Serial No.317,627. (No model.)

smaller pipe I). \Vithin the tank D is a valve E, provided with an inletand outlet passage, respectively, communicating with a short horizontalsection of pipe 0, and a pipe (1, extending through the bottom of thetank, where it carries a coupling. A turning-plug f is located withinthe valve E, and has a throughport g, one side of which is intersectedby a branch port 71. An opening t' is made in one side of thevalve-casing, as shown in Fig. 3. The upper portion of the plug f isextended to present an ear j, to which is connected the lower end of avertical rod F, the upper end of which bears in the top plate of thereservoir or in a bar located transversely across the top of thereservoir. The upper end of said rod is provided with an enlargement orhead G, which enables the said rod and its plug to be convenientlyturned. The ear j is provided at one side with a lateral projection 71/,adapted to contact with a stop 1, located on the valve-casing anddesigned to limit the rotation of said plug. If desirable, the head Gmay be provided with a perforation for the insertion of a rod or key toconveniently effect its turning. The pipe (1 is closed at its end, butbranching therefrom is a vertical air-pipe n, which extends through thetop of the reservoir or brace thereof.

A generator-cup supply-pipe H, spirally or straight, encircles thevertical pipe 0, and connects at its upper end tothe pipe (1 through themedium of the coupling, and the other extremity of the pipe H terminatesat a point where it is adapted to supply the generatorcup.

When it is desired to supply the oil to the generator-c up to light thesame, itis only necessary to turn the head in the direction indicated byan arrow, Fig. 3, so that the ports in the plug will establish acommunication casing and to the pipe 0. In this posit-ion the gasolinewill pass from the reservoir through the valve-casing and into the pipe0, expelling the air therefrom. Then by reversing the position of theplug the communication with the opening in the side of the casing isclosed while a througlnpassage is established between the pipes c d,enabling the charge of oil to be fed to the generator-pipe. By thisarrangement, as previously stated, the oil to through the opening in theside of the valvethe requisite amount is fed to the cup, and anyliability of the latter overflowing is overcome,

It will be obvious that my improved attachment is not only simple anddurable, but can be readily applied to all forms of existinggasoline-stoves without requiring any serious modification oralteration.

I claim- 1. The combination, with an oil-stove having a burner, of areservoir and main supplypipe leading therefrom to the burner, pipes c(I in said reservoir, and an auxiliary pipe leading from said pipe (1 tothe burner, together with a valve interposed between pipes ed, andhaving ports, as described, to admit a chargeof oil to pipe 0 from thereservoir,

and then open communication between pipes c and d, and a valve-operatingdevice, substantially as set forth.

2. The combination, with an oil-stove having abu'rner, of a reservoirand main supply- "pipe leading therefrom to the burner, pipes 0 cl insaid reservoir, an air-pipe communicating with said pipe 0 through thereservoir, an auxiliary pipe connecting with pipe (Z and leading to theburner, together with a valve interposed between the pipes c and d andhaving a T-shaped port, and means for oper ating said valve,substantially as set forth.

' 3. The combination, with an oil-stove having a burner, 01": areservoir and main supplypipe leading therefrom to the burner, pipes 0(Z in said reservoir, the former having avent, an auxiliary pipespirally embracing the main supply-pipe, terminating near the burner andcommunicating with pipe d, and a valve having a T-shaped port interposedbetween pipes c and d, and means for operating said valve, substantiallyas set forth.
